The late Professor Henry Whitall, whose
death occurred in London, England, last
summer at one time boarded in EIdridge' S
Hill and organized class in astronomy at
the Woodstown Academy. The first two
lectures were free. Large maps of the
heavens, on which were printed various
kinds of reptiles and wild beasts represent
ed the different consultations of fixed
stars A large number of ladies and ger
tlemen in the community became interested
in the study, and on clear nights the
Professor, after the lecture, would invite
his class out into the school yard and
point out the different stars. Later Mr..
Whitall invented movable planisphere
by which the location of certain stars can
be ascertained at all seasons of the year.
One Of our citizens has in his possession
one of the planispheres which he
highly values. 1t was the rule that each
student should furnish his own light while
taking blossoms, and every evening the
scholar would come carrying in their hand
candle wrapped in bit of paper. The
Professor had with him large telescope
through which everybody wanted to take
q look at the mountains in the moon, Jupi-
ter's rings and other planets. This priyil-
eye was restricted to the members of the
class. One indignant fellow who was re-
fused peep through the telescope fixed
streak of stovepipe upon tripod of sticks
and placed the effigy upon the roof of a
building. Mr.. Whtall devoted his whole
time and talent to the science he loved so

The supply of Apples.

A member of produce firm in Philadel-
phia largely engaged in the apple trade re-
turned on Friday from a trip through the
apple bearing region of New York State.
lie says he found the crop, which last year
was almosta complete failure, a fairaverage
one. The country, he says, was overrun
with buyers from all sections of the country,
from as far West as Michigan and as far
South as New Orleans. At one hotel in a
town about the centre of the apple bearing
section there were twenty-five apple pur-
chasers located at one time. So great is the
rush to buy the growers are becoming be-
wildered, he says, and are hesitating about
closing out their entire product at the
present time or holding until later in the
season when prices generally appreciate.
lie says he has apples now in the store
which he GIN sell about as cheap as they
are now selling at the price of theirgrowth.
The reason he gives for the presence of so
many Western buyers is that tine apple
crop in that direction, and from whom East
ern buyers obtained their supplies last
year, is failure this year. The better
varieties of apples are, he says, of still bet
ter quality this year, and he expects to
show finer lot of winter apples shortly
than has been seen for years. The crop
in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware
and Maryland has proved another failure
this year. One cause given is the ravages
of the caterpillar, and another is the ne
glect of the farmers to renew their or
chards and to pay the proper attention to
them. Prices at present are somewhat
better than at this time last year, on &C.
count of the cooler weather prevailing.
1t is thought that, taking the entire season
through, prices and supplies will not vary
much from last year.

the pronib,tion Rally.

A large audience of ladies and gentle
men gathered at the Opera House last
Friday evening to listen to addresses on
the question of Temperance and prohibition
by Frank c. Smith, Esq, of Bridgeton
and Samuel p Goodwin, President of
the Reformatory Home in Philadelphia.
Among those on the stage were the county
prohibition candidates. Rev. w. +. Corn
we'll offered prayer, in which he said the
drinking habit was sin against conscience
and humanity. Frank G. Smith spoke
over an hour, and held the close attention
of the audience. A proper education of
the young and strict prohibitory laws he
considers necessary for the preservation
of the nation from moral corruption and
degradation. lllteracy is on the increase
and ignorant voters become the tools of
evil advisers. Rum-solling and rum drink
ing is working the downfall of this coun-
try. Vote for prohibition every time, for
it is by the ballot only that temperance
can triumph over debauchery and crime
Mr.. Goodwin told his hearers that they
might put in their memoranda the follow
ing prophecy of his That within five
years the Woman's Christian Temperance
Unions will have the privilege of voting
for temperance; that at the next Presiden-
tial election the Prohibition party will
have the ascendency. He lamented the
fact that the residents of this beautiful
town allowed a man to run two drinking
bars under one license. Inspite of all that
had been said in the interest of the cause
of temperance and prohibition, Republi-
cans and Democrats will turn deaf ear
to the voice of conscience on election day,
and support their respective parties. lie
adjured every voter present to stand up
for the right and go fearlessly forward into
the battle for temperance and right-doing

The Election I'm WoOdstOwu.

Tuesday, election day, passed off very
much as usual in our town, the town being
more lively if anything, than ON most cleo
ton days, and a larger vote polled No
disorder was noticed and it is not thought
that the law against bribery was violated
to any great extent, at least not openly.
The returns from the county were displayed
in the evening to a large crowd gathered
in front Of Harris drug store and when it
became known that victory was perching
on the Democratic banners those of that
faith began TO fill up with enthusiasm and
rum and managed to keep the residents of
the central portion of the town awake with
their shouts. We give below the majorities
in the townships as lar as we have
been able to get them The Prohibition
vote is less than last year, but we have not
succeeded in securing the exact figures.

Hog-killing. corn -husking and the kill
ing of geese have progressed far enough
for the weather prophets to tell what kind
of winter it is going to be, and for once
all agree. The corn-huskers declare that
if the leaves or husks about ali ear of corn
are close or tight the winter will be Sc
we're one, and they say husking was never
more difficult than it is this season, the
husks fit ing closer than ever before. The
butchers say the spleen in hogs is very
thick, predicting long and severe winter,
while the bone-pickers are sure their never
falling signs forecast the same. To back
up al these proofs DeVoe comes along
with a whole string of reasons why he
predicts four feet Of snow to delight the
heart of the sleigh riders and tobogganers,
and almost an equal thickness of ice to
increase the profits of the ice dealers.
